I'd recommend creating your pxelinux configs at the top-level tftp
dir(/srv/tftp), and copying all the relevent pxelinux.0 and other helper
files there. The create a /srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default that uses the
kernel/initrd from /ltsp/* for each entry.

The tftp files at TFTPDIR/ltsp/* get autogenerated, and may clobber your
changes. While you can remove the pxelinux.cfg/default symlink in newer
versions and then edit pxelinux.cfg/default, it may be difficult to
select different images if they use a different kernel and/or initrd for
different images.


Good luck!
